" You okay there?" Dale said sitting next to her. She didn't even realize she had been crying.
She looked at the fire then up at him with big sad eyes. " Honestly?" She asked and he nodded. " No." She said hanging her head again.
" What on earth could have you so upset? You seemed more than overjoyed by being reunited with your family this morning. Granted a few things went wrong but what is it?" Dale asked in a sweet tone.
She sighed and then looked up. " God has one fucked up sense of humor." She said looking back down at him. She smiled a bit at her remark. " They want me to apologize."
" Who?"
" Rick and Shane. They want me to take back what I did." She said. " She had it coming! She walks around like she owns everything and one. She left me to die! And they want me to apologize for hitting her." She said and Dale looked shocked.
" and you can't do that." Dale stated. Jenna didn't seem like the type to back down. She seemed like a fighter to him. He may have only talked to her a few times but he could tell.
" No. I never apologize for something that was right." She said.
" Yeah but have you ever thought about how it would effect anyone else?" Dale asked in a curios tone. She could already tell Dale was the moral one around this group. She had a feeling he always did was right. She shook her head and smiled at him. How was she going to explain all this to him. It was complicated so she was going to try her best.
" Let me ask you something then. In the few months you have known Lori Grimes how many times have you wanted to just smack her upside the head?" She asked and he looked away. Then he smiled. " Exactly." She said. " I have known Lori for almost eight years now and for Rick's sake I said nothing about her. I never once told him how much I hated her or how she admitted to hating me." Jenna said as Dale looked back.
" That makes you a good friend but why would you finally snap now?" he asked.
She looked away and chuckled. " Only so much a girl can take Dale." She said and he smiled. " You know there was a time that me and those boys were like siblings. I would have died for them and I was positive they would have as well." She said then looked at the small flames in the pit.
" and that has changed I assume." Dale said. " Especially Shane. I know this isn't a great time but I should warn you he has changed." He said.
" Oh I know. You know who is to blame for that?" She said and he looked confused. " Me."
" That's not possible." Dale said.
" No, Dale it is very true. It is a long story for another night but it is true." She said looking at the house. " All their focus is around that women and I don't see what the big deal, I never did." She said.
" Women change men." Dale said. That made Jenna laughed. " What is it?" He asked wanting to know what got Jenna to laugh.
" That's it Dale, the reason she hates me." She said and he looked at her waiting for the answer. " I slept with Shane first." She said and Dale laughed and shook his head. Then things got quiet for a moment. " You still it affected someone? Me hitting Lori?" Jenna asked as Dale took a pause.
Daryl had come back from a sweep of the woods after Jenna had called him a stupid redneck and a coward. He wasn't mad. He knew she was right. He shouldn't have pushed to talk to her. He just wanted to see her again. He was a mess. He had missed her for seven years and now that she is here he can't have her. It was killing him. He walked up the hill toward the camp to place his kills near the RV when he saw Dale and Jenna talking by the dim fire. He walked closer and quietly listened to the conversation. He shouldn't have because he didn't want to hear what they were talking about now.
" Shane." Dale said looking at her. Daryl hated that name.
" What about Shane?" Jenna asked rubbing her eyes to get rid of any still falling tears.
" He is obviously in love with Lori but I think he may care about you. Have you ever thought about how you confronting Lori would make him feel?" Dale sounded like a shrink. " And don't tell me you don't care about him." he said making Daryl listen even more.
" Dale I don't know what you have seen but Shane doesn't care about me. All that matters to him are Lori and Carl. That's all its ever been. Sure we both got lonely from time to time but it was never a relationship." She said. Daryl could feel the anger in in him bubble. " Shane is defiantly not the person I last saw a year ago and I fear he has gone off the deep end." She said. " I care about him and don't want him to get hurt but he is hurting himself." She said whipping her tears again. She was angry and stressed and couldn't believe she was crying out in the open. She never did that. What was happening to her. " Shane is his own worse enemy, one of these days he will run into trouble and I don't want that to lead to him dying." She said hanging her head.
" Then tell him that." Dale said. " But be careful he is dangerous." Dale said.
" Aren't we all?" Jenna said. Dale nodded.
" You love him?" Dale asked.
" No." She said. Daryl sighed in relief. " But that didn't stop me from sleeping with him." Jenna confessed.
Daryl felt his heart-break a bit. She slept with Shane. Out of all the men in King County she had to sleep with Shane. He stormed back to his own camp and his mind was soon clouded with questions. Did she even miss him!? Daryl's head riddled with questions. " Oh course she didn't dumbass! She was happy when you left. Led her straight to him!" He said to himself. He rammed into his tent to lay down but he would not get any sleep. He couldn't stop imagining the smile on her face when she was with Shane. It was actually killing him. " You are the one who pushed her to him!" His inner voice yelled at him. " Shut up!" He hit himself in the head. He just sat in his tent stabbing the ground. He was cursing God for his crudeness.
